Dinner Show - Half Moon Jug Band
Join us for an evening of fun-filled music as Belfast Breeze Inn hosts the Half-moon Jug Band and a yummy BBQ dinner from the chefs at Pig Out BBQ in Belfast. Our new music venue promises to get you all involved in this music.
The Half Moon Jug Band is a three-man mob of musical desperadoes waging a daily battle against the humdrum forces of boredom and inaction. They fend off the blahs with banjoes, kazoos, guitars saxophones and silliness. They want to make you dance and sing along at the top of your lungs.
Jug band music is homemade music. You won't hear it on the radio, you won't see it on MTV and you can't get it at Wal-Mart. It's a bubbling casserole of music as diverse as America itself. You're not sure exactly what's in there but boy, it sure sounds good. Labels don't work. If it sounds good, if the audience claps, if it feels honest, then it's jug band music.
The band thrives on interaction with their audiences. For the HMJB, it's not just about standing on stage playing songs. It's about singing, dancing and making people happy. They do whatever it takes to put on a show for all ages, studding every performance with jokes, stories and mandatory sing-alongs. No one gets out without singing. No one.
The Half Moon Jug Band started as a merry band of sidewalk subversives entertaining passersby and annoying shopkeepers on Exchange Street in Portland, Maine more than 15 years ago. Now, they can now be found on the road playing concerts and festivals all over the northeast like New Year's Portland, the Maine Festival, the Old Port Festival, the Prescott Park Folk Festival, the Oddfellow Theatre, the Winthrop Performing Arts Center, the Maine Lobster Festival, Burlington's strange 3rd of July Fireworks extravaganza, the Fryeburg, Deerfield and Cornish Fairs, and many town concerts too numerous to enumerate here.
